Abstract

Disclosed is a bike simulator including: a base frame; a slope frame rotatably connected to the base frame so as to apply a tilting back and forth to a seated bike; a roll frame fixing a frame of the bike seated on the slope frame and rotatably connected to the slope frame so as to apply a horizontal slope to the bike; and a rear wheel support provided in the slope frame, supporting a rear wheel of the seated bike, and including a load generating unit configured to control rotary force transferred to the rear wheel. In the bike simulator according to the present invention, a bike which an actual user possesses can be fixed and applied, and as a result, the user can feel an extreme realistic traveling sense.

Claims

 a front wheel support provided in the slope frame, and movable back and forward so as to support a front wheel at the time of seating bikes having various sizes.   
     
     
         3 . The bike simulator of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 wherein the slope frame comprising hinges connected with the base frame,   a slope adjusting unit configured to control a relative angle between the slope frame and the base frame.   
     
     
         4 . The bike simulator of  claim 3 , wherein the slope adjusting unit is configured by a linear actuator of which one end is connected with the slope frame and the other end is connected with the base frame. 
     
     
         5 . The bike simulator of  claim 2 , wherein the roll frame is configured in such a manner that a rotary axis is positioned in line to the front wheel support and the load generating unit so as to simulate a tilting left and right of the bike during actual traveling. 
     
     
         6 . The bike simulator of  claim 5 , wherein the roll frame comprising a fixing link which extends to a frame of the bike so as to prevent interference when the user uses the bike simulator. 
     
     
         7 . The bike simulator of  claim 6 , wherein the fixing link is configured to adjust a height and a length so as to fix bikes having different sizes. 
     
     
         8 . The bike simulator of  claim 6 , wherein the roll frame is configured to comprising a rotary actuator which is coaxially with the rotary axis. 
     
     
         9 . The bike simulator of  claim 8 , wherein the load generating unit comprising a load wheel and a load motor,
 the load wheel rotates together when the rear wheel rotates in contact with the rear wheel, and   the load motor is configured to control torque applied to the load wheel.   
     
     
         10 . The bike simulator of  claim 9 , wherein the rear wheel support is configured to further comprising a rolling guide supporting the rear wheel at a apart from the load wheel at the time of seating the bike and rotating together with the rotation of the rear wheel. 
     
     
         11 . The bike simulator of  claim 2 , wherein the load generating unit is configured with a width to support the rear wheel when the bike fixed to the roll frame is tilted left and right by the rotation of the roll frame. 
     
     
         12 . The bike simulator of  claim 2 , wherein the front wheels support is comprising a rotary joint so as to support the front wheel when changing an angle of the front wheel depending on steering by the user. 
     
     
         13 . The bike simulator of  claim 2 , wherein the slope frame and the roll frame are driven by hydraulic pressure. 
     
     
         14 . The bike simulator of  claim 2 , wherein each of the rear wheel support and the front wheel support is further comprising a vibration generating unit configured to simulate a sense depending on a road surface during the actual traveling. 
     
     
         15 . A bike simulator comprising:
